Hobbies
Why on earth, when it is 90 bazillion degrees out and I don't have air conditioning, do I get the urge to bake bake bake everything I can possibly cram into the oven? Last night, I made apricot bars, lemon sorbet (ok, that one didn't involve the oven, but I was standing in my hot kitchen), and had fully intended to make Yogurt Marmelade Cake, but ( Read more... ) -
Keeping Score
Number of times I walked out the door before I finally left without forgetting anything: 3 (First I forgot to feed the cats, then I forgot my phone ( Read more... ) -
Conversations with Verizon
I thought I had finished dealing with Verizon bullshit once JLB finished. Apparently not. We've been having trouble with our internet service in the office the last few days. It drops out intermittently, and when it runs, it runs slow. So I dig out the Verizon bill and give them a call. After doing what I'm told, punching through menus and ( Read more... ) -
Saving Money
In addition to my checking account with my credit union, I have an online savings account with ING Direct. I've built up a small cushion in it (very, very small - but I still feel pretty good about it), so I was thinking about taking a little of it, and putting it into a CD.

Accomplishment!

Off to the doctor this afternoon to hopefully get this allergy thing under control. I've added a spoonful of raw local honey to the daily regimen. At least that part tastes good :)
Saw How To Train Your Dragon this weekend. Definitely cute. Basically, dragons are just big cats. And of course, because ( Read more... ) -

Christmas Music
I am such a sap - on my way to work this morning, I heard that cheesy depressing song "The Christmas Shoes", and had to change the station because it made me cry! -
Eff.
FUCK my insurance company. Why the hell isn't a FLU TEST covered? And what's more, I'm mad at myself for letting them run the test. I knew I had strep throat. The doctor knew I had strep throat. But he wanted to run the flu test, just in case, what with the time of year and H1N1 and all. And do you know what they do for a flu test? They take ( Read more... )
